Statement of Beliefs
Our Philosophy
Our educational program is grounded in Christian teachings and is presented from a Christian perspective. The development of the “whole child” is emphasized as spiritual, mental, physical, and social growth is nurtured. The application of concepts taught is based on the belief that an education grounded in Christian principles and presented in a Christian environment will enhance the student’s life and help him to develop a personal relationship with God through his acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, and to help him to learn to love others as himself, have a proper love for himself, and have a love for his country and his environment.
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as we have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” (Colossians 2:6-8)
Our Goals
Our goals as the MCCS staff and school board are to:
- We believe that God is the ultimate source of truth and that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.
- We believe that God is Spirit, infinite, personal, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, grace, goodness, and truth.
- We believe that Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and that He offers eternal life to those who confess their sins and accept Him as their Lord and Savior.
- We believe that Christian integrity must characterize all we do. We believe that an education, should include the development of Christian spirituality, gives life divine direction, gives perspective to knowledge, and leads students to seek God’s leadership in their lives.
- We believe that the primary responsibility of Christian churches, schools, and parents is the preparation of young people for a life of Christian discipleship.
- We believe the primary academic responsibility of MCCS is to provide an education with a goal of academic excellence and prepares the students for college and life in a nurturing Christian environment.
- We believe that by learning Biblical truths along with other disciplines helps make spirituality a natural part of the student’s lives.
- We believe that a Christian worldview sees all of life as a part of God’s creation, accepting the Biblical principles as the standard established by God, the Creator. All of life is religious in the sense that God ultimately governs all of life.
- We believe that Christian ethics with spiritual motivation are invaluable to the individual and to society.
- We believe students can be challenged to fulfill their God-given potential in a safe, nurturing environment where every aspect of life is addressed: spiritual, intellectual, artistic, social, moral, and physical.
- We believe marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman.
